Michael Bisping shocked the world earlier this month when he knocked out Luke Rockhold in the first round of the Middleweight title bout at UFC 199. Rockhold had been favored heavily in the fight, but the upset means that UFC now has a new champion in its popular Middleweight division. And naturally, the conversation has already begun regarding who should challenge Bisping for the belt.
For his part, Bisping has already been fairly outspoken about dictating the terms of his next fight. Last Friday, MMA Fighting did an early analysis about potential challengers for Bisping, and noted that both Rockhold and Chris Weidman seem unlikely.
